I\u2019ve volunteered at several graduations now, and each time I\u2019ve found it to be an excellent way to develop practical skills while contributing to an event that holds real significance for students and their families. <\/p>\n

It also allows me to work toward the required hours for my Industry Experience Portfolio<\/em> module, which focuses on building a set number of hours in different types of events experiences. This module is designed to help students gain real-world exposure in the events industry, develop our professional skills, and build our CVs with relevant experience that will stand us in good stead when we enter the world of work.<\/p>\n

Graduations are such significant milestones for students, their families, and the wider University community. It\u2019s a day full of joy, pride, and celebration\u2014a perfect example of a large-scale event that requires meticulous planning and flawless execution.<\/p>\n

As someone aspiring to build a career in the events industry, I wanted to immerse myself in live event operations and witness first-hand the organisational skills and teamwork required to make such an occasion run smoothly.<\/p>\n
